Description

This guide provides a comprehensive look at the unfair practices created by state laws.  This new edition covers:

• Important recent developments in California’s public sector labor law, such as: the Public Employee Communication Chapter, which expands the rights of exclusive representatives and restricts certain activities by employers; “mandatory access” to the “onboarding process” of new public-sector employees (i.e., new employee orientations); and Senate Bill 866, passed to mitigate the loss of agency fees in light of the Janus decision.
• Case law developments in discrimination, bypassing of exclusive representative, DFR, impasse procedures, and more.
• Each of the eight primary statutes that regulate public employment relations in California: EERA, HEERA, Dills, and MMBA; as well as newer statutes such as the Trial Court Employment Protection and Governance Act (TCEPGA), the Trial Court Interpreter Employment and Labor Relations Act (TCIELRA), the Los Angeles Country Metropolitan Transportation Authority Transit Employer-Employee Relations Act (TEERA), and the Judicial Council Employer-Employee Relations Act (JCEERA).
• Updated statutory and regulatory text; the unfair practice sections of the acts; a guide to cases further elaborating what conduct is unlawful; and a glossary defining labor relations terms.
